Evaluating the effect of printing parameters on the performance of resin occlusal splints for a sustainable dentistry by Ashish Kaushik, Ramesh Kumar Garg, Ravinder S. Saini, Francesco Bennardo, Artak Heboyan

“…Similarly, the optimum results for minimum surface roughness (8.013 microns), maximum dimensional accuracy (97.67 and minimum water sorption (0.386%) are achieved at a layer thickness of 16 mm, curing time of 93 min, and orientation angle of 12º. Results show that optimizing resin 3D printing parameters for occlusal splints significantly reduces production costs, particularly in regions with limited access to dental care, while promoting sustainable dental solutions by minimizing the environmental impact of traditional manufacturing methods and enhancing the efficiency of splint production.…”
